Kate Hudson On Her Estranged Father Bill Hudson: 'Must Be Painful For Him'

Kate Hudson is all smiles while making an appearance at Good Morning America on Wednesday (September 28) in New York City.

The 37-year-old actress was spotted in various outfits throughout the day as she promoted her latest film Deepwater Horizon before joining fashion stylist Joe Zee at the 2016 Advertising Week New York Yahoo Dinner at the Highline Hotel.

While visiting Sirus XM’s The Howard Stern Show that same day, Kate opened up about her feelings towards estranged father Bill Hudson.

“[His] issues… are just something that he has to live with, and that must be painful for him,” Kate expressed (via ET). “I forgive him. There’s still an inability for me to understand my father but forgiveness in any aspect of something that is complex is the greatest tool.”

“When you have a father like Kurt [Russell], whose sort of been there for the hard stuff… He’s not a perfect man,” Kate added. “But the trust that I got from him in terms of his dependability was priceless for me.”

FYI: Kate is wearing an Established jewelry necklace in the candids.
